Bikram Breakdown: Standing Head to Knee Pose

Standing Head to Knee Pose (Dandayamana-Janushirasana) gets broken down nicely in the image above. Part of Bikram Yoga’s Standing Series, this posture provides the following benefits:

• This posture improves the flexibility of the sciatic nerves and strengthens the hamstrings and leg muscles.
• It also works the muscles of the back, the biceps and the triceps.
• It helps to squeeze and flush out the internal abdominal organs, such as the gall bladder, pancreas and spleen, as well as the uterus and ovaries.
